    Teddy Bridgewater wanted to stay composed. He wanted to remain calm and in control while taking over for the next several weeks with the New Orleans Saints' leader, Drew Brees, sidelined with injury.

    Three years removed from a knee injury that nearly ended his career, Bridgewater was an unexpected winner Sunday.
